Hi Richard, I need two questions answered:
I just compiled the changes and am ready to run some tests.
1) I made the game standard that you may only move up to 3 marbles; the 
players would need to specify the '-long' option in order to allow more
than 3 marbles to be pushed.  Is this OK with you?  (the standard rules
from what I hear is that only 3 are to be allowed)

2) also, regarding the '-push' option: I don't exactly understand what you
mean by the "change the game significantly" -- what I wish to ask is "Is
this a good thing?"  I already made the '-push' option to allow equal
pushes (1 push 1, 2 push 2, etc)  Do you mind if I leave this in?
(standard is to only allow fewer pushed than those doing the pushing)
